Subject: exception handling
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

ok, in reply to the fact that i didn't give enough info here goes.

I'm using gcc-2.8.1 as well as gpp-2.8.1
what i read in some faq's was that exception handling wasn't implemented fully in this version.  save for using '-fsjlj-exceptions'.  but supposedely this is a 'cruder' method of exception handling. what i'd like to know if it will reduce performance or does it have any other "side-effects" that i should be aware of.  

If the latter is the case i'll download 2.9.5, otherwise sticking to 2.8.1 for the while will be my first option.  

thanks for the help and patience.
